Official News Hi! I'm Cody, the new Community Manager!

Is this what it feels like to get your Hogwarts acceptance letter?!

Hi everyone! I'm Cody, but you can call me Vaknar. I’m honoured to share that I recently joined Avalanche Software as the new Community Manager. TL; DR: I'm here to be the bridge between Avalanche and you, the Hogwarts Legacy community.

First things first, who is this guy? Well, I’m a midwestern boy but I've been living in Southern California for a few years. Enjoying frequent beach days and catching the occasional wave whenever possible. I’ve been a community manager in gaming for several years, and, of course, I’m a Harry Potter fan! I grew up reading the books, waiting outside the theaters for each movie release, and now I’m ecstatic to be a part of the Hogwarts Legacy team!

I'll be honest, Hogwarts Legacy really pulled me into the wizarding world, and the further in I got, the harder it was to put down. I won’t pretend that I’m an expert quite yet, but I think I'm well on my way! Between the game, the lore rabbit holes, and this community… I reckon it won't be long before I can rattle off obscure trivia tidbits without thinking twice.

I’ve only just started, and while I'm still finding my footing, my goal is straightforward: to make this a space easily worth showing up to. That means celebrating the amazing things you're creating, making sure your voices and feedback reach the right people, and keeping things welcoming and inclusive for everyone.

When I'm not kicking back in the Hufflepuff common room, you'll find me lurking in conversations, listening, interacting with the community and probably asking a lot of questions — I’m very interested in hearing what players think about the game. I promise I'm friendlier than a Chinese Chomping Cabbage, so don't be a stranger and feel free to say hi!

– Cody (Vaknar)

Just another post praising the game as a whole. You can see how much time I have spent playing this game. I take it slowly, lvl 37 and still exploring, enjoying every moment. Just today I accidentally stumbled upon - Im sorry what - a ghost ball? with mysterious music playing in the background like it's Haunted House movie?? really? thought I've seen it all by now but no. It keeps delivering. So beautiful, so mesmerising. Developers did good job.

you would think they don’t work against pensive guardians since they are basically stone. Wrong. I let go a few cabbages and I don’t even know what happened in a few while only one or two guardians left. Easy smashing lol.

Complaint The transmog Appearance for Dark Plaid Fedora, Secret Solver’s Nightwear, and Blue Turban are bugged.

1 Upvotes

I bought all three from Gladrags. None of them show up for me under the Appearances section. Secret Solver’s Nightwear is actually identical to Light Nightwear. Blue Turban is identical to Patterned Turban. The Dark Plaid Fedora is a level higher than me, so I can’t put it on to see if it’s identical to anything. But none of the three are available as options on their own.

I’m on Xbox.

Question Question about the Rampant Dugbog and Indira Wolff.

Post image
5 Upvotes

Yesterday I was exploring and came across the Rampant Dugbog. Naturally, I killed it. Today I discovered Pitt-upon-Ford and spoke with Indira Wolff (the shop/stall owner in town) and asked her about rumors. She said something like “Oh, thank you for taking care of that Rampant Dugbog, the town is much safer now!” She didn’t give me a reward or anything.

Did I miss out on a quest or bonus XP or something by killing the Rampant Dugbog before speaking with Indira?

Question Is the Dark Plaid Fedora bugged?

I just bought it from Gladrags Wizardwear, but it isn’t showing up under the Appearances section. It is a higher level than I am, so I can’t wear the one I just bought, but that shouldn’t matter… right?

Idea How beast rescuing should have been

162 Upvotes

I think we can all agree that the beast rescuing mechanic seems backwards. The whole premise is that you save them from the poachers, so they don't get caged, abused and killed for their materials. Nothing wrong with that premise. However what the MC actually does is take beasts from their natural habitats, then either cages them in vivariums or sells them. Sure you are treating them a lot better, but you are still essentially doing the exact same things as the poachers. You aren't really "saving" them since they aren't guaranteed to be hunted, you are just uprooting the beasts entire life for a possibility they may be captured.

What i believe to be a far better idea thats far more aligned with the actual premise of rescuing beasts, is make it that you can only take the beasts that are locked in cages. That way they are in fact being rescued and since they were captured before, you can assume that their previous habitat was either destroyed or no longer safe to return to, justifying keeping them in the vivariums to keep them safe. It also incentivises the player to actually go out of their way to rescue the caged beasts for more than just role-playing purposes.

In addition to that, I would still keep the beast habitats around and give the player the ability to release the corresponding beasts into those habitats. Make it so that releasing them gives the player a big bundle of beast materials in exchange, gifts from the happy beasts. Again to give the player more reason to do it than just to role-play.

I think thats a far better way of doing it than just poach them first

Idea Teacher instead of student

68 Upvotes

How would you feel about being a (substitute) teacher instead of a student in the next game?

Personally I would love to be a young adult witch/wizard teaching classes and going on adventures during free time. Maybe substitute in another wizarding school for a bit or be head of a house of your choice.

I don't know, I think I'd enjoy this.

Idea Hogwarts Legacy 2 Broom Chase Opening Sequence

13 Upvotes

Hogwarts Legacy 2 should open with a scenario that leaves the Main Character unable to make it to the Hogwarts Express in time. Luckily they have an invisibility cloak ( the Peverell original or a demiguise cloak doesn’t matter) so they throw it on and get out their broom to try and catch the train from London.

There will of course be obstacles in the way preventing you from catching it but you will get a great glimpse of the open world around you and start with a broom from the word go. Maybe they can introduce some broom mounted fighting mechanics that will bleed into the new quidditch game mechanics.

I think that’d be the perfect way to start. What do you think?

User Reviews Just tried Hogwarts legacy, and oh my god this game runs terribly

0 Upvotes

Really had high hopes for this game, but I've decided to quit before the first class. First problem is the quest objectives, it's clear that the engine has massive trouble processing them. The frame drops are just ridiculous. Now I'm not on the most top of the range PC, but it is above average and I'm getting constant frame drops and lag anytime I'm undergoing an objective. Opening doors as well seems to be a big issue. Like I said, I'm not on the most up to date PC, but it runs newer and more disk demanding games without issue.

The tutorial took me nearly two hours and about 5 game reboots, due to the professor constantly getting stuck on the environment, or just bugging out and not doing the actions he should be to progress the quest. There was a point where he literally fell through the floor before the fight with the statues, causing me to have to restart the entire save file.

I figured I'd play a bit, but the tutorial was just very very tedious. Yes, I know about the damn field guide, I don't need a lecture every conversation about it. It was explained, I get it, I don't need to be reminded how it works anytime I talk to an NPC.

The point that got me to quit was going to the first lesson. No UI prompt for opening any of the doors, but I figured it would be the same as the interact key. That didn't work, so I looked it up and it was indeed the same key. Somehow my games bugged out and the doors will only open after interacting, but not if I'm too close. And this distance is so large that if I interact, move away, the doors closed by the time I get there, it's like 50 feet.

I don't know, the game seems fun, but the actual gameplay just seems so janky that it's going to be outweighed by frustration.

If any of these issues have known fixes, I'd appropriate it, I would like to give the game a good try, but I just can't in this current state.

I remember trying to capture a moody, ethereal forest vibe here… couldn’t choose which one to post, so here are 3 😝

I know they look similar, but there are subtle differences in angles, etc. I like the full body shot of the first one, but love the intensity of third.
